The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Get Stuffed, Senior Chief @MalcolmNance

by Smitty I spent some time on Twitter today doing something wildly unusual for me: defending Senator John McCain over the (as yet unproven) allegation that McCain caused the USS Forrestal disaster.

The Profound Sadness of Christine Emba

by Smitty Don’t know who this lady is, but she excels at missing the point, emphasis mine: But that doesn’t mean Peterson is harmless. At times, he leans into an oddly conspiratorial obsession with “neo-Marxist” liberal professors meaning to march us to the gulag via the gender equity in the classroom .?.?. or something. And […]

Outtakes From A Leadership Book By Some Guy Whom Troops Would Only Follow Out Of Morbid Curiosity

by Smitty And I looked at the top of Trump's head, and it snarled at me.The Tribble. I had to stop it.Nobody but me, with my innate xenobiological sense, could even detect the heinous alien menace that had possessed this otherwise quotidian buffoon. — I Came; I Saw; I Got Over Macho Grande (@smitty_one_each) April […]

Broward Rhymes With Something

by Smitty A little rhyming repartee with JoahnOfArgghh. Twitter ain’t dead; it’s just restin’. Sad, the tale of Broward,Whose men proved so untoward,When Destiny chose to put them to the test.When calamity comes messin',Put your skill in Smith & Wesson,And your faith in God, where it will do you best. — I Came; I Saw; […]
